5.0 out of 5 stars A thousand years of biking experience in a single book, 18 Jun 2001
By rpp@iobox.com (Hertfordshire UK) - See all my reviews
Chris has been there, seen it and done it. Well most things on a bike that are legal, and I guess a few that are not! This book gives detailed information for both novice and expert alike. From tyres to tools, from bikes to routes. If you really want to live the dream, then this is the first place to start, and if you are only dreaming.......dream on. Chris has not only put his wealth of knowledge, his love of travel and all other things biking into this book, but those of many others. It's full of stories and advice from people that really have been round the world on two wheels. A bible for any biking traveller....keep it close to hand, you never know when you might need its help.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reading, 1 Feb 2002
By A Customer
I've had this book for over 12 months and I still re-read it. Anyone planning to travel somewhere different on a motorbike will find this book really useful. Full of ideas, tips, lists, advice, it's all there. Even if you've never had a go at motorcycle touring before - this book will help. The information about touring in different continents/countries is excellent.

A practical book that sits on the bookshelf next to "Jupiter's Travels" - Buy it now!

5.0 out of 5 stars A manual to true traveling, 23 Jan 2003
By A Customer
I have never made such a travel like the ones in this book, the writer gives plenty of usefull tips that will not be forgotten, very entertaining reading, however, there are plenty of references to other books and you will only get the big picture after reading them all. I think that it falls short on the tech stuff, i would like to get a book only about the motorcycles and tips like adjusting the carb for high altitude and repairs, this book only gives a few pages to the subject of picking a bike and i think it deserves a lot more. It absolutely lives up to the title and made me dream, what else can you ask?

I purchased this book on a whim in 2005, having recently acquired a bike license and been enthused by watching Mondo Enduro. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational
The book has everything you need to know about doing some off-piste motorcycling. It makes some amazing trips sound vaguely feasible. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent read
Well structured, easy to follow and I like the new chapter on medical advice, very thorough and easy to understand for the layman. Some great tips I'd not thought of!
